Betrayal: "The Battle for Warsaw" 1944 BRUSSEL AND EUROPEAN UNION ASK TO CLOSE THE HISTORY SOLIDARITY SHIPYARDS BETRADED ONE MORE TIME

Betrayal: "The Battle for Warsaw" GAZA NOW 2009The Warsaw Uprising was the largest and perhaps most heroic underground campaign of World War II. It was also one of the most desperate and little known battles of the war. Yet even as the Poles rose up against the Germans in the heart of Warsaw, THEY WERE CALLOUSLY BETRAYED. NOT BY THEIR ENEMIES BUT BY THEIR ALLIES. They were promised help that never came, so they took matters into their own hands. In the summer of 1944, more than 20,000 Polish Freedom Fighters and 220,000 Polish civilians died at the hands of the German Army during 63 days of hellacious battle in Poland's capital city of Warsaw.Consisting entirely of archival footage and interviews with survivors, BETRAYAL: THE BATTLE FOR WARSAW is an inspiring and heartbreaking retrospective of one of the greatest fights you've probably never heard about.

Battle of WarsawWarsaw uprising (1944), tragic attempt by the Polish Home Army (Armija Krajowa) to overthrow the German occupation as the Red Army closed on Warsaw. By 28 July 1944 citizens of Warsaw could hear the sounds of the battle between the Wehrmacht and the Red Army. The Soviets were concerned about a German counter-attack and ordered their troops onto the defensive on 1 August.

The Home Army was sponsored by the British and the Polish government in exile in London, but the British turned down requests for active assistance from RAF aircraft and the Polish Parachute Brigade because Warsaw was beyond normal aircraft range and lay within the Soviet sphere. The USSR had its own plans and government-in-waiting, Rada Narodowa, and sponsored a different Polish army, the Armija Ludowa, which was unified with the Polish army that had been formed in the USSR. Nonetheless, the charge that the Soviets sat back and waited for the Germans to crush the uprising is baseless; there were four German armored divisions between them and the city and Marshal Rokossovsky, commanding the Soviet First Belorussian Front (army group), needed to regroup before continuing the offensive. The lamentable fact is that the uprising was intended to present the advancing Soviets with a fait accompli and was launched without prior consultation with either London or Moscow. It should also be noted that the Home Army did little to support the equally heroic and doomed uprising of the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto in April 1943.

On 1 August Home Army underground units opened fire inside Warsaw, beginning two months of bitter fighting. The lull in Soviet operations permitted the Germans to send in overwhelming force, backed up by Einzatzgruppen extermination squads, and even if the Soviets had co-operated with earlier British efforts to airdrop supplies, it would not have made much difference. The Soviets themselves dropped supplies in the second half of September, but much of it fell into German hands. By 24 September the Germans had forced the isolated Polish units into small pockets and escape through the sewers was the only option. Fifteen thousand fighters of the 30, 000-40, 000-strong Home Army were dead, and 120, 000-200, 000 civilians were killed. On 2 October the fighting stopped, the remaining Poles were rounded up for slavery or extermination, and the Germans began razing Warsaw to the ground.

Gaza: The Killing Zone - Israel/Palestine

May 2003life in Gaza is a constant gauntlet of Israeli sniper fire, military rockets and army bulldozers. No one is safe. In light of the escalating tensions, we're bringing back one our most moving documentaries, a hard-hitting expose of life in the Occupied territories. We speak to the children caught in the crossfire and find out the true cost of Israel's targeted assassinations policy.

About Me

Since 1998 RAQport.com offers software installations on server appliances like the Sun Cobalt. Since several years we also deliver the same services for CentOS + BlueQuartz server appliances. They are the open source successor of the original Cobalt RaQs and offer a much more secure and more modern hosting platform than the original RaQ's, the next generation of BlueQuartz server appliance software.

BlueOnyx is a Linux distribution (based on CentOS v5.2) which aims at delivering a turnkey server appliance for webhosting. It comes with a web based GUI interface which allows you (and your email, FTP and webhosting clients!) to manage most aspects of the server, its sites and accounts through a browser based interface. It is open source software, released under a Sun modified BSD license.

Development of Aventurin, which is a Linux Virtualization Appliance.

Aventurin allows you - with the same ease as on a Cobalt RaQ, BlueQuartz or BlueOnyx server - to create and manage virtual private servers. These virtual private servers can even run different Linux distributions. So on one Aventurin master node you can run multiple different Linux distributions side by side. This makes it ideal for ISPs or companies with their own IT infrastructure, as you can utilize your existing hardware in the most efficient fashion.

We offer Aventurin as downloadable ISO image, but also sell servers (and even clusters!) with Aventurin pre-installed.

We also offer server migrations, Linux consulting and troubleshooting related to these appliances and we manufacture custom tailored CentOS + BlueQuartzserver appliances in house.

We have put together a lot of software packages designed with the unique demands in mind which anyone who operates such a server appliance might have. Aside from commercially bundled software we also offer free downloads of ready to run PKG or RPM files.

Our hardware and software is designed to ensure a trouble free, relieable and secure operation of your server appliance - may that be an old Sun Cobalt RaQ, Qube, XTR, RaQ550 or a new Centos + BlueQuartz or BlueOnyx server. We also help out to troubleshoot specific issues which one might have with a server appliance and help with server migrations, installation of third party software or check servers for compromises and root kits.

Still if you have any Sun Cobalt RAQ's or Qube's Servers we have in stock servers, spare parts and all additional free and commertial software.
